Chapter 37: Yun Po Po and Lan Ji Got into a Fight

  Lan Ji looked at Yun Po Po and saw that she was staring intently at the signboard of the Smoke Flower House. She guessed that Yun had seen the banner and said, "Sister, don't look so rustic. You haven't been here for a long time and aren't familiar with our policies. Our policy is to change every year, make major changes every three years, and completely change every five years." We are based on our foundation, developing our characteristics, and have also absorbed many foreign beauties to enrich the Smoke Flower House, striving to quickly boost the economy, develop human resources and military strength, and strive to expand the territory of Hanhai Country to the world. After finishing speaking, she raised her right hand above her head and shouted, "Long live Hanhai Country!"

  The cloud granny forced a smile, saying: "Still three years one change of appearance, five years full change of appearance, I think it's getting more and more unattractive!" In her heart she thought: This is truly a case of overestimating oneself, with such a small territory yet wanting to swallow the whole world, isn't that too arrogant?

  "Yun sister has not been here for five years, staying in a backward area for a long time, and it's hard to keep up with the trend. Why don't you just stay here this time? You have our token and silver money is stored here, life will be good, why do you need to squat at that desolate ferry, living a poor life?" Lan Ji advised.

  The cloud granny shook her head.

  "Even if you've received kindness from others, after all these years of helping her bring down the ladies of the Hu family one by one, isn't that enough to repay the favor? Besides, she said she could take down the Hu family and she can actually do it. The influence of the Hu family is not something you're unaware of."

  Yun Po Po shook her head again. Lan Ji looked at Yun Po Po and said: "How come I feel that this time when I see you, it's different from before?"

  Yun Po-po smiled and said: "What's different? Just a bit older."

  Lan Ji burst out laughing: "But I advised you to retire, and you wouldn't listen." After retiring, come to the vast ocean to live a heavenly life, what's not good about that? You've made a lot of money in China, and now you're here to enjoy your old age.

  Two people chatted as they walked, and their conversation led them to the third floor's Huahua Pavilion. This was where Lan Ji worked and rested. A beautifully dressed little girl was teasing Liu Qingqing.

  "Grandma, she's so boring! She can't even say a word, and doesn't have any expression at all." A little girl around 10 years old said while tapping on Qingqing's forehead.

  "Zhen Zhen, how can you be so rude? Did you guys invite your elder sister to eat something? Lan Ji brought a persimmon pancake close to Liu Qingqing's face, a wave of greasy fragrance hit her nose, almost making her vomit."

  A little kid called Zhenzhen giggled and said, "He's so silly."

  Lan Ji invited Cloud Grandma to sit down, and with a smile, she said to the little girl: "Zhen Zhen, go out and play, grandma wants to talk about something serious with our guest.

  Not suitable for children, so we have to get Zhenzhen out of here first.

  "Yun jie," Lan Ji giggled and said: "Today, you and Feng gege agreed to stay, letting me taste the flavor of Tian Chao's beauty, I'm really touched."

  "Don't be polite, I'm telling you, this young woman is still a virgin, the taste is exceptionally fresh. You'll definitely get hooked, do you want me to leave now and give you two some space?"

  "You damned woman, how dare you come up with such a vicious idea to harm me!" But he couldn't say anything.

  Yun Po-po laughed and said: "Hmph, you're quite arrogant, what are you being arrogant about? Believe it or not, I'll team up with Lan Ji to take you down, how about a 3-on-1?"

  Liu Qing's face turned pale with anger, if she wasn't tied to the pillar, he would have definitely used violence on her, at least sealing her mouth shut first.

  Yun Po walked over and pinched him: "Oh my, this little face is so tender, just like egg whites! What do you think? Blue Girl, are you going to take him or not?"

  Lan Ji also walked forward, her long fingernails brushing against Liu Qingqing's hair. "You also know that I have this little hobby, how can I let go of such a delicious taste? However, I still have some doubts."

  "What's the hesitation? If you like it, just do it!" Yún Pópó said with a wink and a nod towards Liǔ Qīngqīng. Liǔ Qīngqīng was so angry that she gritted her teeth but couldn't say anything.

  "Don't you forget why you came here?" Liu Qingqing gave him a knock on the head, and Yun Popo picked up a grape from the table and ate one. "It tastes good, you have one too." She picked up a grape and pinched Liu Qingqing's nose, and Liu Qingqing opened her tightly closed mouth, then Yun Popo tossed the grape in.

  Lan Ji sat on one side and watched, "How did Yun Jie also become fond of virgins? Has she already enjoyed his taste?"

  Liu Qingqing glared at Cloud Granny, who seemed to be implying that she would swallow him whole if he didn't comply. Cloud Granny looked at Liu Qingqing and picked up a big red apple, crunching into it loudly before pausing to say, "How dare I?"

  Lan Ji also seemed to be in a difficult situation: "That's right, he is the son-in-law of Yue Ye, and the Lord of Hanhai is still waiting for him to borrow grain, horses, and weapons from his father-in-law. In order to please her, they even sent the most beautiful woman to old Yue Ye. If we want his son-in-law, it's probably not easy to get?" Then she asked again: "Are you sure he is Yue Ye's son-in-law?"

  Yun Popo said seriously: "As fake as it is, not only that, I also know she was originally the ninth wife of a Huchong person, but has been abandoned and is now the fiancée of Yue Qianshan."

  Lan Ji said: "What? It's actually a fight between one woman and two men. But everyone says that the man from Hu is crippled, I'm afraid he can't compete with this handsome guy!"

  While talking, Lan Ji's hands were not idle either. With a "po" sound, Lan Ji also pinched a handful on Liu Qingqing's tender face, and in her heart, she scolded: "Old witch, I want to kill you." Gnashing her teeth.

  "It's so spicy, I like it." Lan Ji twisted her own big buttocks and came to Liu Qingqing's side, twisting his firm butt once. Angry Liu Qingqing glared with wide eyes, Lan Ji also wiped a handful on his firm chest. Poor him was tied up with both hands and mouth blocked, being eaten tofu could only be dry staring.

  Yun Po-po and Lan Ji were chatting while eating fruit and desserts, a bit messy. Lan Ji said a lot, Yun Po-po was making an effort to eat, occasionally nodding or inserting a word to guide Lan Ji to continue speaking.

  Lan Ji mentioned a topic that Yun Po Po was more interested in, which is the Hairpin Festival.

  The day after tomorrow, on August 15th, the Ji Festival will be held at the Huāhuā Lóu, and the King of Hǎn Hǎi will also attend. All 15-year-old girls from all over the country will come here to compete, and wealthy merchants and high officials from home and abroad can bid for them as long as they bring enough silver. The King of Hǎn Hǎi will personally issue a token to those who pay enough silver, making them legal citizens of Hǎn Hǎi, allowing them to live here permanently and move freely in and out of the country at any time. Moreover, they can take away the girl they fancy and bring her back to their own country.

  Yun Po-po's eyes lit up when she heard the news, and she asked in a puzzled tone: "What does it have to do with you? You have a token of permission, you can live here permanently, and you don't have any issues with your orientation, you won't like beautiful women... what exactly are you trying to do?"

  Yun Popo suddenly pulled out a silver ticket from her bosom and said, "I want to redeem Ninth Lady, have her participate in the Jiuzhi Festival, and use her to earn more money."

  "Pay on one hand and deliver on the other, these are your old man's words. Now you want to go back on them? I'm afraid it won't be that easy, unless you can beat my two fists."

  Yun Popo sneered: "Is that so? My Yun Popo's hands aren't just for show either, you can come at me with all your might!" The two people clashed in an instant.

  Liu Qingqing looked at the two people who were still talking enthusiastically just now, and they are now fighting irreconcilably, like two mad dogs starting to tear each other apart.

  An hour passed without a winner being decided.

  Another period of time has passed, and the outcome is still undecided.

  The two people's martial arts skills were evenly matched, and Liu Qingqing went from being tense and excited to feeling unenthusiastic and finally depressed. Zhenzhen dodged the fight between Lan Jie and Yun Po, and came to Liu Qingqing's feet, raising her adorable red face and asking: "Are you from Tian Chao? Is your sister who is locked in the Ice Palace also with you?"

  Liu Qingqing felt that the fight between the two women was very dangerous for herself, so she said to Zhenzhen: "You let go of the rope, and I'll tell you."

  "That won't do, what if you run away?" Zhenzhen not only didn't untie the rope but instead checked to see if it was secure. She pulled Liu Qingqing under the table and brought down a plate of pastries, drinking tea and eating pastries with her while chatting.

  Two old women were still fighting, Blue Maiden punched the table where the two were hiding, Zhenzhen quickly pulled Liu Qingqing to move aside.

  Liu Qingqing silently sighed, thinking that this child was either very brave or had seen too many scenes like this in Zezhong and found it strange. She looked curious. Zhenzhen understood her implication and said, "I'm not afraid, no one can beat my Blue Sister, she's the best fighter here." Zhenzhen took a bite of the pastry and handed another piece to Liu Qingqing.

  "Do you want to rescue the woman in the Ice Palace? Do you know a person from Tian Chao named Hu Zhongren?" Jingjing asked hastily, her black eyes sparkling.

  Liu Qing nodded slightly.

  "Are you nodding because you want to save the girl, or do you know that man named Hu Zhongren?" Zhenzhen felt his expression was unclear and somewhat unhappy, so she quickly asked again.

  Liu Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light, which disappeared in an instant. She hurriedly nodded to show her sincerity, indicating that she was willing.

  "If I help you save that girl, can you do something for me?" Jingjing asked.

  Liu Qingqing nodded hastily again. Now she thinks Zhenzhen is lovely, not as annoying as when she was teasing herself earlier, but a little adult who is thoughtfully conversing with her.

  Liu Qingqing agreed to listen, and she hastily blinked her eyes.

  "I helped you rescue that woman, now you help me ask Hu Zhongren, since he didn't like mom, why did he still marry mom and let mom get pregnant with me?" Just as Liu Qingqing was about to ask him more questions, Zhenzhen suddenly ran away. When Liu Qingqing looked back, the duel between the two had also ended, both of them were exhausted and had no energy to fight anymore.

  Although Granny Cloud was panting, she didn't stop talking, "Did you take it? Do you want to fight another 300 rounds?"

  Lan Ji smiled and said: "You crazy woman, where did you learn this set of palm techniques? I've never seen it before. If we don't use our ultimate moves, neither of us will convince the other."
